Fall Trend Forecast: “Lived-in” Hair

Apparently, the bedhead look that has been popping up on stars a lot recently (even in dressy situations) is here to stay. In fact, many of the hairstylists this Fashion Week are taking it a step further with the goal of making the hair appear as if it’s the second, third or, hey, even fifth day after a washing. I’ve been hearing the words “lived-in” being thrown around as the official way to describe the look, which I have to admit is a bit more appealing than “dirty” or “messy,” but is that enough to get you onboard?

I’m not sure how I feel about it. On one hand, it’s kind of hot in a relaxed, comfortable sort of way. On the other, it sort of looks like the kind of thing that I’d see in pictures later and feel embarrassed about. In the end, I might just get on the bandwagon though—anything that allows me to hit the snooze button one more time usually ends up winning with me.

What do you think: Are these looks messy or sexy? Do you like the idea of “lived-in” hair? Find the whole thing lazy and off-putting?
